Flight in Winter - A Colossal Mini-Series

Size Matters You call that converted broom closet full of food your pantry
because you are too embarrassed to call it your food storage. Don't
worry, your secret is safe with us.
You've got your pantry stocked for a rainy day and you are feeling pretty confident (cocky) as you watch the approaching storm. Yes indeed, you are ready for almost anything...or are you? How much food do you have put aside? Enough for a month? Three months? One year? You run to your pantry and take a cursory glance. Yep, you can probably feed yourself and your family for...oh...about...about...a long time. Yeah, right. You'll be fine. Let's be honest, shall we? A one month supply of food isn't all that much when you think about it. one month goes by quickly, doesn't it? You can probably cut back on your portions and make the food in your pantry go farther. Reality Check: A one month supply of food is not good for much. To prepare for a local disaster, you need a few days worth of food and water, just enough to hold you over until help arrives or until you relocate. An extended catastrophe might last a week or two at the most so you'll need enough to hold you over until help arrives or until you relocate. See how that works? A crisis that is greater than a local, natural disaster like a hurricane or earthquake, etc., is another thing altogether, but you have to define what a crisis might mean to you. What kind of crisis are you prepared for? Do you think you might need to rely on your food supply for an extended period of time? What does extended mean? Extended is obviously more than a month. One month is nothing more than a healthy supply for a temporary local disaster, not an extended amount of time. Three months supply is more than enough for a catastrophe, but is three months really an extended period of time? An extended period of time to a small child is different that an adult who went through the depression.Posted by admin Tuesday, November 11, 2008 (04:42:35) 
Critical Investment RecommendationsLong before the press woke up and sounded the alarm, I told you to invest in water. Some people took me seriously. Most didn’t. I also told you to invest in food. I told you to take all of the money you have and purchase food. Some people did. Most didn’t. I have heard and am encouraged that some people are just now jumping on the bandwagon. Better late than never. Imagine how much money they would have saved had they started earlier, like you did. Time has obviously proven my reliability in these matters. Now that the readers of my sites are actively investing in food and water purification, I am going to make two more recommendations. Don’t ignore them.

Prepared For The Long Hard Journey There is no doubt in anyone's mind that the American pioneers were a
rugged lot. They loaded their covered wagons and set off across the
planes on a journey fraught with peril, starvation and often death. In
the early 1860s, it took an average of four months for emigrants to
travel to the gold diggings in Idaho and Montana. Failure to plan on
their part was definitely a plan to fail and some of them did fail even
though they had a good plan.
People today don't take planning as seriously as the early settlers because we are spoiled by the comforts of technology such as restaurants, air-conditioning, Quik Trips, etc. Our vehicles are jammed with coolers, DVD players and talking GPS systems. We cannot imagine life without our creature comforts, but imagine we must if we are to survive a calamity. Posted by admin Saturday, August 02, 2008 (17:45:44) 
Where Did The Money Go?Someone has stolen hundreds of billions of dollars and destroyed an entire nation. Thus far, it appears to be the perfect crime, because we don't know who did it or where the money is. It does matter and yes, you do care because it will change your life forever. When someone closes on a mortgage, that loan is sold to another company who sells it to another company and so on. It may eventually end up at Fanny Mae or Freddie Mac who then converts the loan into shares sold to investors on Wall Street. Greed focused on this bizarre part of our economy and sub-prime lending scams abounded and people, enticed by lower, temporary interest rates, refinanced or purchased new homes. As more and more companies took advantage of those less fortunate, foreign investors jumped in, adding their mostly oil-based dollars to the exploding financial pile. Everyone knew the party could not last forever. The mortgage scam frenzy eventually slowed to a trickle, fewer investors were willing to purchase or invest in the shaky loans and those stuck with the paper began raising those temporary interest rates in an attempt as a hedge against potential losses, often tripling people's mortgage payments. Eventually, many people could no longer afford to make their house payments and were tossed into the street, losing everything. Foreclosure rates are now at an all-time high and still rising. Thousands of people are losing their homes and homeless shelters are overflowing. Families are being split between facilities, while others are being sent back into the streets. Because of this, some cities are already setting up parking lots where homeless are allowed to sleep in their cars...if they still have a car. Posted by admin Sunday, July 20, 2008 (02:16:56) 
Mathematics of Your Emergency Water SupplyUneducated and unmotivated individuals often believe that they can draw drinking water from their home's plumbing in an emergency. Simple mathematics reveals the folly of this plan. Let's calculate the volume of water in your home's plumbing.
The plumbing in your home is 3/4" diameter. Radius of pipe (r) = 3/8 of one inch = 0.375in Area of a cylinder (pipe) = π x r2 pi = 3.14159265 3.14159265 times 0.3752 equals 0.44178646
One gallon of water equals 231 cubic inches
Let's put in our numbers. 231 / 0.44178646 = 522.87704788417463043118161656652 Let's round this off to 522.88 inches. Divide this by 12 and we see that we need 43.57 feet of plumbing for every gallon of water. You need a minimum of one gallon of water per person per day. Three days supply for two people would require 261.42 feet of plumbing, which I sincerely doubt that you have in your home. Posted by admin Sunday, July 13, 2008 (00:27:15)
